"We had a fantastic two week holiday in Milo. The chalet is lovely and equipped with everything you need. The garden is absolutely beautiful and huge - the pictures do not do it justice! You could not ask for a more friendly or helpful owner either - he is full of interesting information and tips and on hand for everything you might need. This was one of the best holidays we have had in recent years."

Wonderful holidays in the Chalet

We (young couple) spended a few days of our holidays in Sicily in the Chalet. Milo is a beautiful little village at the Etna. In the chalet, there is everything you need for living, e.g. pasta, coffee. The beautiful garden offers everything you need for perfect holidays, e.g. delicous figs, tomatos...

The landlord and his wife are wonderful. Upon our arrival, they had already baked a delicous cake for us. Through our entire stay at the chalet, they helped us with all our little problems and wishes. They had very good ideas, where and how we could spend our days. It’s possible to drive for example to Taormina, Syracus, Noto, or to go for an excursion at the etna. We had the pleasure of being in Milo during a wine festival. Therefore, we could taste some delicacies of the region as well.

We highly recommend this place! Enjoy your holidays!
